BONDSMEN MAY SVRREXBF.R.
Martin anil Taylor Have 20 Days In
Which to File fur Hchenrlngs.
As a result of the decisions Just
given In the cases of Grover Mnrtln
and Moses Taylor, both of those par
ties must now serve the penitentiary'
terms to which they were sentenced
by Judge Ellis 10 years for Martin,
and two for Taylor. However, 20
days Is allowed the defendants In
which to file motions for rehearing,
and It is presumed this time will be
taken, though it Is known the motions
would be overruled.
Both parties are now out on bail,
and District Attorney Phelps has noti
fied the various bondsmen of the su
preme court decision. Consequently.
It Is probable that the bondsmen will
desire to surrender the defendants and
thus be relieved of further responsi
bility. Much interest has been taken In
both the Taylor and Martin cases. In
the former especially, have the local
-.tlorneys been Interested because of
the legal point Involveu. The entire
case against Taylor hinged upon the
question of whether or not Taylor at
tempted to commit arson when he
planned to do so. Among many it
was believed that the decision would
be reversed. As a result, District At
torney Phelps is pleased over the vic
tory won by the state.

Commercial National Bank
Pendleton, Oregon
While truing New Tax Law Before
the lVoplo la Also Greatly Interest
ed In Developing the Interior Re
gions of tlie State Some of the
Achievements of tlie Willamette
Valley Development league.
The board of managers of Pendle
ton Commercial association met at
:30 this nfternoon for the purpose of
listening to an address from Colonel
E. Hofer, president of the Willamette
Valley Development league, who Is In
the city today.
That leaguo has formulated a tax
law, outlines of which have been pub
lished in the East Oregonlan from
time to time and which It is believed
will greatly reduce the state tax levy
If passed by the people.
Colonel Hofer Is an enthusiastic ad
vocate of the law and hopes to see
the people take sufficient interest in
it to send In petitions to place It upon
the official ballot at the coming state
election to be voted on by an initia
tive vote.
It is so vitally connected with the
public interests of the state that he
believes that the voters In general
should voluntarily send In petitions,
and not wait for individuals to do the
work and bear the burden of the ex
pense.
In speaking of the work of the de
velopment league of the Willamette
valley he said that wonderful results
have been achieved there by the
league.
It has secured special freight rates
on lumber, fuel, piling, fruit and other
leading products of the Willamette
valley points and there are under con
struction several railroads as a result
of the agitation of the league.
The Coos Bay road, reaching from
Drain to Coos Bay, a line 75 miles In
length, tapping a rich coal district
and penetrating the heavy forests of
the Coast range, is a result of the
agitation of the Willamette valley
league. Also the road to cross Ore
gon from Natron to Ontario, is one of
its chief sources of pride since the
league has long advocated and en
couraged the building of this road.
At the present time an electric line
reaching from Portland to Eugene is
being built at the rate of a half mile
each day, both ways from Salem, the
direct result of the league's agitation
for better trasportatlon facilities. Tlie
building of this line of electric rail
way will supply the Willamette val
ley for all time with ample facilities.
It will parallel the Southern Pacific
and will traverse the richest and most
thickly settled portion of the valley
from end to end.
Another road now being advocated
by the league is the line from Salem
to Siletz reservation, by which an
enormous timber belt would be opened
to market and a new district furnish
ed with transportation.
So great have been the result of the
Willamette valley league In an Indus
trial way, that Southern Oregon Is now
ready to organize a league and a
meeting will be held at Grant's Fass
for that purpose soon.
The Willamette Valley Develop'
ment league has won every fight It
has hade so far, and is a standing
example of what organized effort on
part of a few determined men can
do. There Is a field for such a
league in eastern Oregon, where some
of the achievements of the Willamette
organization might be duplicated In
part, at least.

for the coming year, the settlement of

Personal Encounter Narrowly Averted
In Walla Walla Meeting.
TVia tnnmhpm nf the W'alla Walla
city council almost came to blows over
the slot machine ordinance Inst night.
The Union of this morning gives the
following account of the meeting:
Personal combat was averted in ire
council chamber last evening between
Judge W. H. Upton and Williamson
on one side and Councilman Bridges
on the other, by a bystander wno step
nod hetween the belligerents wlillo
Mayor Hunt was rapping for order.
The affair was precipitated uy a
.nuh nnwio hv Judge Upton In re
gard to the Blot machine ordinance
then under consideration, and also
some supplemental remarks made by
young William Upton.
The iron-clad ordinance, maaing u
,n offense to maintain any slot ma
chine in which there is an element of
chance, which was finolly unanimous
ly passed, was then up for third read
ing and Judge Upton asked to be al
lowed to address the council.
u,, tnr some time and among
other things criticized the council for
the manner in which it had revoKec
of five saloons recently,
and was now preparing to deliver a
blow to many other Dusiness nouses

slot machines as a Btlmulus for trade.
Following the Judge, nis, Bon wh

members of the council did not inves
tigate other forms of gambling that
were in full swing at several places In
the city. He stated thnt he knew of
places where there were B00 or $600
on the gambling tables nearly all the
time.
Councilman Bridges resented the
remarks of both and styled them as
efforts to "rub It In" on the council.
